<p>“Pizzagirl, I think the study annasdad is talking about in this case is about getting into medical school, not what happens after.”
If you are talking about being at Med. School, I can tell you that what happened after does not depend on UG and even on fact that first year Med. Student had PhD from Harvard or law degree or Masters in science. I cannot tell you why, but it just does not matter. They are all pushed very hard at Med. School and everybody feels that they do not have enough time to study even if they study 24/7, which is not possible.
however, getting into residency might make a difference for PhD from Harvard, I do not know yet, as he might use network that is not available to others. But how many PhD’s from Harvard do we have in Med. Schools in whole country? I do not know if there is a study for it. I know one person.</p>
